-- Biography courtesy of BYO Records --
Not many people know about the small college town of Warrensburg, Missouri, which is about 40 miles east of Kansas City. Apparently, it's the home of the phrase "Man's Best Friend" (pertaining to dogs). There's a statue of a dog called Old Drum in front of the courthouse in town. Supposedly, Warrensburg has the biggest consumption of Natural Light beer in the country. According to the guys in Kosher, "Warrensburg is like any small town, but we have 2 McDonalds.... Ok, one of them is in the Wal Mart. We hang out at home a lot, because it just gets stupid to go down to the bars every night and waste money and make fun of moronic frat boys, and slutty sorority girls (well, it's not all bad)."
The basic structure of Kosher started in 1995 when three out of the four band members got together during their high school years. Although the line-up currently consists of Remi (vocals & bass), Trent (guitar & backing vocals), Josh (guitar), and Rob (drums), the band was initially conceived as a 3-piece. Josh was originally brought in as a bass player in 1999 for a month-long tour of the Mid-West and East Coast. When Kosher got back to writing songs, Josh and Remi swapped instruments. After noticing the new, fuller sound, the band decided to keep Josh as a permanent fixture in the group. Interestingly enough, one of the first times that Josh and the rest of the band hung out together was at a show at which now-label-mates, Pinhead Circus, was playing.
After playing around town, Kosher developed a large fan base in Warrensburg and decided to head out. Miraculously, their "stinky, rusty van, which is held together with duct tape and wire," made it through several U.S. tours in the Mid-West and the East Coast. A few of the bands they have played with are Scared of Chaka, Murder City Devils, Leatherface, Dillinger Four, and The Thumbs. Several tours are in the works.
Kosher is constantly being compared to The Replacements (in their earlier punk years), Black Flag, and Dillinger Four. Past releases include a 7" called "Bored of America" (on the defunct label, Skull Duggery, which was based in Massachussettes) and a self-released EP called "Death to Drama." BYO Records releases Kosher's amazing debut full-length album entitled "Self-Control" on November 27, 2001.

Death to Drama
Kosher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got no time for false emotion.
Got no time to waste going through the motions.
So I’ll just say death to drama.
I’ve been out on the outside laying down on a bombshell boulevard.
Broken spirits rarely tell the truth.
I ask them to show me proof.
Death to drama, it’s the only thing I can live for.
because I won’t point the finger anymore.
The numbers don’t seem to add up,
it’s either move on or just give up.
The party’s taken an ugly turn, so many lessons we all must learn.
Death to drama, its the only thing that I can live for.
Save your pettiness for the petty
because I won’t point the finger anymore.
In Kosher's song "Death to Drama," the singer is expressing frustration with the chaos and emotional turmoil that seems to surround them. They recognize that they have no sense of direction and no time for false emotion, but instead of going through the motions of conventional social interaction, they want to declare that they are done with drama. The singer has been on the outside, perhaps feeling like they are stuck in a state of limbo, and has seen broken spirits around them who rarely tell the truth. They ask for proof of sincerity, highlighting a desire for more authenticity and less pretense in their relationships. Despite this desire, the singer acknowledges that there may be difficult decisions to be made - they must either move on or give up. Ultimately, the singer wants to prioritize cutting out the drama in their life and focusing on more meaningful things.
One possible interpretation of this song is that the singer is expressing a desire for more clarity and straightforwardness in their relationships. They are tired of dealing with petty, superficial drama and want to cultivate more meaningful connections. Perhaps the singer has been burned by people who were not what they seemed, or felt trapped in situations that were more about appearances than real connection. In declaring "death to drama," the singer is making a bold statement about their priorities and values, and perhaps seeking to attract more like-minded people into their life.
